Love At First Sight

I have never believed in love at first sight. Until yesterday afternoon.

I was at Takashimaya's Kinokuniya. I'd just made my latest purchase of Nodame Cantabile volume 20. I was on my way out of the shop, when I saw it.

It was sitting quaintly on the shelf. With a white-ish grey cover that reminds me so of the olden english days. "Sundays at Tiffany's" by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet, the cover read. I halted in my steps. Automatically, my hand shot out and grabbed it off the shelf. The minute I finished reading the synopsis, I knew I was gone.

I was ensnared. Completely.

I looked at the price tag and gulped. Reluctantly, I put it gently back onto the shelf. That night, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I want it, I want it, I want it...

After work today, I could stand it no longer. I dropped by Kino at Bugis and there I saw it again. I picked it up gently and gazed at it with longing eyes.

Until Muffin could stand it no longer and screamed at me to just buy the frickin' novel. LOLLL!!

So. I bought it.

And I am absolutely delighted, wonderfully elated and joyfully ecstatic.

Oh, and by the way? I still don't believe in love at first sight (unless it's with regards to books or music). Call me a skeptic if you wish, but such is reality, no? x)
